Caper Acres is built into the park and encompassed by the natural surroundings. The large play area is filled with slides and jungle gyms, each with a fairytale or fantasy theme. The renovation consisted of adding and replacing equipment, reconstructing damaged equipment, updating features, and planting new trees. The task involved the labors of multiple companies and volunteers sharing the common goal of reviving Caper Acres. The majority of the play structures are custom designs. The renovation insured that Caper Acres would meet access and safety standards. Railing and fall material were added throughout the site per requirements of play areas. Examples can be found on the Crooked House, in which updated equipment with elevated enclosures was added, and on the Big Cheese, where railings and fall safe materials were constructed. New handicap access walks from the parking lot were provided and security lighting is on the way (spring 2004). Tree Fort A second slide was added and its play features updated with new equipment. The slides and other play pieces were ordered from Miracle Recreation. The new equipment has safety features, such as the elevated enclosures, which help insure kids can?EUR??,,????'???t fall from the higher elements of the play structure. The Tunnels Created to look like old mines, the tunnels originally had a diameter of 36 inches. The tunnels were redesigned to fit five-foot concrete culvert pipe. Parents and adults are now better able to view and access the tunnels. Also, small sections of gates were placed above the tunnels for safety. The Castle Sherwood Castle, inspired by the ?EUR??,,????'??Adventures of Robin Hood,?EUR??,,????'?? is a new feature made of split-faced blocks; it also has a matching castle-like restroom. Sherwood has mystical characters painted throughout it, adding to the fairytale theme. The castle is perched on a small hill in the middle of the park, ?EUR??,,????'??protecting?EUR??,,????'?? Caper Acres. A meandering pathway leads to the suspension bridge that crosses the castle moat.
